Adjustment of Blade Engagement
Warning
Make sure that the parking brake is firmly
applied before performing the operation.
Caution
Be sure to perform this operation on your own.
Caution
When handling the reel cutter (cutting
cylinder) or bed knife (bottom blade), wear
gloves to protect your hands.
Pay attention not to let the reel cutter (cutting
cylinder) catch your gloves. Otherwise, you
may injure your hand or fingers.
Important
If the CR brush is installed (the mower unit
equipped with only CR brush), loosen the left
and right bolts and nuts used to install the CR
brush before adjusting the blade engagement.
After adjusting the blade engagement, adjust
the CR brush, and then firmly tighten the
loosened bolts and nuts.
Stop the engine.
Shift the reel rotation/stop switching lever to
the "Stop" position.

With the cutter adjustment nut, adjust the
engagement between the reel cutter (cutting
cylinder) and the bed knife (bottom blade) so
that newspaper (two to three sheets) will be
cut by the edge of both blades when the
blades in their entirety come slightly into
contact with each other.
Insert two or three strips of newspaper into
the space between the reel cutter (cutting
cylinder) and the bed knife (bottom blade) at
an angle of 90 degrees. Then, rotate the reel
cutter (cutting cylinder) counter-clockwise
(when you face the mower unit from the left)
by hand to check the sharpness of the
blades.
Check the sharpness of the entire range (at
three or four points) of the reel cutter (cutting
cylinder).
If there is a gap between the blade edges:
Loosen the cutter adjustment nut to apply
more contact pressure between the reel
cutter (cutting cylinder) and the bed knife
(bottom blade).
If the reel cutter (cutting cylinder) is too
tight to turn:
Tighten the cutter adjustment nut to
reduce the contact pressure between the
reel cutter (cutting cylinder) and the bed
knife (bottom blade).
If the blades still cannot cut well:
Perform back lapping of the reel cutter
(cutting cylinder) and the bed knife
(bottom blade).
